isn't it strange how they match up at such an exact number

Funny how the imperial system matches at oddly exact numbers with the metric system... Strange indeed.

it's likely because their current definitions are both fixed on the melting and boiling points of water

Sorry i was /s, the entire imperial system is now defined through the metric system standards. For example, 1in is defined as EXACTLY 2.54cm. Fahrenheit is defined as EXACTLY 5/9⁠(x +459.67) [K] or 5/9(x-32) [C].
